This used to be a fun game, until the update. No costume boosts or mission requirements (which enhanced each other) badly designed game control that stops responding at critical times, lost all the locations, bosses, side-quests,etc. And the ads - spend three times as much time on ads as on gameplay! It's basically turned into a pay-to-play or we'll kill you with ads. Looking at the milquetoast responses from the devs, it's clear this is what they want. Gonna drop this game for good
This game was so great back then but now it's terrible. There used to be like 20 locations but now there's like 4. Unlocking minions is just confusing and they don't have abilities anymore. Also the ads are just annoying. I get ads even when I'm on the menu. Also I hate that I can't play offline anymore. I'm going to uninstall it for now.
I used to play the old version this game a long time ago when I was younger and I still liked it till this day. When I heard that you guys were remaking this game with better graphics, new abilities, and a new ui, I was excited to replay one of my childhood favorites until I saw some problems with this new version of Minion Rush. The thing I liked about this version is how some of the new abilities are super overpowered, allowing you to destroy obstacles in your way with ease while riding on a car. The things I didn’t liked about this new version of Minion Rush is the amount of ads shoved into your face, the lack of bosses,the strict tournament time. Well you can argue that the company has to have ads in order to monetize this free game but they throw ads in while you’re navigating the menu and after you finished running. Then, you could also argue that they might add in bosses in a future update but It just feels empty without them. Now I’m going to talk about the short time limit for the tournament. This might be a skill issue but I think the tournament in the should last for at least a week because I sometimes don’t play this game or I might be busy doing something. Disregarding all the flaws, this is still a very good endless runner, even though a prefer the original over the new one.
I used to play this game on iOS back in early 2014 and Android a few years prior. I'd say the new update to this game is pretty good, but it might have a bit of a potential to be an incredible update to the entire game if they'd bring back one of the bosses from the previous versions of the game. For example, at times, you'd either face Vector, or Meena depending on the world, and you either had to survive or hit the smaller robots to beat them.
The new most recent major update took away the majority of content that made the game fun and interesting. Prior to this major update the game was very interesting and entertaining. An example of a feature that was removed was the ability of all costumes having different power ups and buffs. It was enjoyable to have incentive to collecting new costumes as some were superior to others for certain challenges. Similar to this, the decision to remove mission mode with different quests to complete was ill advised as it removed a majority of the motive to run. I also think that most of the power-ups are lame and very similar to each other. An example of this is with the rocket blade and the ultimate. They both do the exact same thing. I believe that the old power ups are far superior to the newly added ones. Specifically, the freeze ray and the evil minion potion should still be in the game as they also reference the Despicable Me movies where these new power ups do not. Additionally, there are only four locations when before there were around 15 or more. I hope that this game reverts the changes to the game that removed the enjoyable aspects as there is way less content to enjoy. I think is it crucial that the different minion costumes have different passives that give them certain buffs for different missions and it is important that the mission mode is restored in some manner. These two aspects of the game are the most essential to keep the game fun.
I played this game almost nine years ago now when I was five, now I’m fourteen and I’d just like to say it’s so similar to how I remembered it! As soon as I saw that the ten year anniversary came out for this game, I had to reinstall it! I’ve been playing for a while now and it’s been super fun going through different missions while unlocking different abilities and characters. My one complaints are the fact that the Jelly event isn’t active anymore and it’s really unfortunate because I remember playing that event when I played this back in 2015 and it was SO much fun! And the layout was way better in my opinion. There’s also the excessive ads each time I end a run, but that can easily be fixed with 1.99 and I would not mind the price. And one last thing, the bosses felt like they were definitely a bigger threat than they actually are and it’s not really a challenge to beat them. All it is is just four swipes left or right and three taps on the screen. I wish there was a difficulty setting on how challenging you want your experience to be. Other then that, great game! I’m currently on the Mall chapter and I can’t wait to unlock the theme park chapter. That one was definitely my favorite.
